Calgary Alberta - "Creel has been instrumental in CP forging a leadership role in the industry, while acknowledging the railroad's place in history, and its role in driving the North American economy forward. He has helped renew Canadians' and CP employees' sense of pride in a company that connected a nation, and connected Canada to the rest of the world. Under his steady hand, and under very difficult circumstances this past year, CP has been a safe, efficient, and productive railroad, enabling its customers to connect with domestic and global markets," Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono writes.
